I can write custom blocks, but I can't automate them.

I have a block already done, kind of. What it displays is monthly goal, due date, progress bar, donor listings and the actual donate button. I need it totally automated so when someone donates, they get added to the list, the progress bar updates and so forth.

Here is a screenshot of the block:

And here is the code for the block:

Code: Select all

{$LR_BLOCK_H_L}&nbsp;<strong>Donations</strong>{$LR_BLOCK_H_R}
             <div style="text-align: left;">
<div class="panel">
	<div class="inner">
		<span class="corners-top"><span></span></span>
         
  <strong>[sG] Donations</strong>
  <br />
  <br />
  <div style="color: white; background-color: black; margin: 10px 0px 5px 0px; padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px; font-weight: bold; min-width:18px; max-width: 400px; width:55px; border: 1px solid black;"><strong>Statistics</strong></strong></div>
  Goal amount:&nbsp;$100.00
  <br />

  <br />
  <br />
  <div style="background-color: gray; width:100px; border: 1px solid black;"><div style="background-color: green; color: white; font-weight:bold; max-width: 100px; width:30px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$30.00  </div> </div>
  <br />
  <div style="color: white; background-color: black; margin: 10px 0px 5px 0px; padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px; font-weight: bold; min-width:18px; max-width: 400px; width:118px; border: 1px solid black;"><strong>Latest Donations (3)</strong></div>
  <br />

  <strong>Test Donor #2</strong>
  <br />

  <br />
  <br />
  <strong>Test Donor #3</strong>
  <br />
  Donated $10 on Sep 13, 09
  <br />
  <br />
  <PayPal button code goes here>
		<span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span>
	</div>
</div>
    {$LR_BLOCK_F_L}{$LR_BLOCK_F_R}

If anybody could please help me out with this, I'd be greatly appreciative.

Not sure if that's possible. Remember they leave your page and go to paypal to make a donation, so if you track the donation as they leave your site and go to paypal, they could simply cancel the transaction then and your site would never update.

Unless Paypal has a feature to send back some kind of confirmation to your site, once a transaction is complete. Then you might be able to use that to update your records. after that inputting the info into the DB and display the info is easy.

Looking into it more. there does seem to be a feature called "Express Checkout" that uses an API to return information to your site. But I do not know if it works with donation's or only if you sell actually product on your website. more info here
